  1. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/ http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/77626-convert-windows-xp-style.html?filter[2]=Appearance Personalize http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/325144-show-us-your-desktop-2-a-3.html#post2720647 http://www.sevenforums.com/1021388-post312.html I use his Maple theme, because I used to use it in 2000Pro and XP Pro but he tried and they don't work in 10. Classic Theme Restorer Extension for Firefox also helps and if you still have it, the Plus Pack that came with Win 98, the icons, pointers, cursors and stuff still work, so far, I haven't tried them in 10 but I don't like 10, would rather use 7 64bit or Linux if I have to. Though you want to change the Logon screen, I just stayed with the stock because my "MicroBorg:'98" startup screen wouldn't look right. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5382-log-screen-change.html?filter[2]=Appearance Personalize
  2. Try using a non-browser specific downloader, I use Free Download Manager {or just call it FDM} http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/free_download_manager.html Also available as a portable application.. http://portableapps.com/ As you see in my previous, I use it with an extension, that is also available for Chrome, some like JDownloader, which, last time I looked, had a similar interface and is also portable.
  3. For the Firefox detractors; use the 2000 Pro style theme with classic theme restorer I use on both the XP HTPC and the W7 workstation [using IownAmoneyPit's re-creation of 2000/XPPro's "Maple" theme]. To me, FF is King.
  4. So true! That is generally the doctrine I follow, IE for sevenforums/tenforums Chrome, when I want to post on YT. However, Opera Portable only has four [grocery flyers] tabs open and is really slow to load but I don't always up date to the latest when I have time to read the newspapers that come on Thursday of every week. FF is my main viewer, Java disabled unless a site really needs it, then disable and do scans. For that you gotta remember what actions you did and give the appropriate exemptions, right?
  5. 1) same difference, posted wrong log previously. 2) no way, I found Avast to be a P.I.T.A. even though the 2000Pro power users here, like tomas86, use it to keep 2000 running, including myself until I got tired of all the fiddling. 3) Java disabled a long time ago in FF 4) N.O.Y.B.
  6. I am not concerned about the 'file missing' entries, as I'm running a customised Win7[ultimate],when left alone, my Win7 runs smoothly, more problems are caused by bad updates, rather than zeroredirect1, and as for the WMP entry, I use KMPlayer on the desktops, VLC Portable elsewhere.

  7. Fellas, don't fight, all I gotta do is stay away from the site of the original infection. It is adware, though revealed it knew my I.P. and the name of my town, amateur tricks, really. Anyhooo... the site you quoted in your pinned post has no pointers to the kit but does to something I've already installed over the weekend. http://www.lunarsoft.net/software/malwarebytes-anti-malware-2-1-6
  8. Well, it won't be seeking megaupload.comanytime soon. it was only doing its adware thing when i opened the MegaManager downloader, probably during the login page, which I usually ignore, jumping to the downloads tab. plus every 10 minutes. that has been replaced with FDM. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/anti_malware_toolkit.html hasn't had an update since 2010 but will try it out tomorrow, but the other stuff says I'm clean now. I'm not a noob, just forgot a lot of stuff since 1980, like if you don't use it, you lose it. Do that other stuff tomorrow, gotta make supper....
  9. I have administrator rights, but the command box doesn't look like yours. Since the Atari ST I've lost command line skills, doesn't respond to fgrep. I opened my hosts file in notepad, all 127.0.0.1 no 0.0.0.0 like yours. Entries made by spybot S&D With the antimalware I've downloaded, I think i got rid of it. Gave AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes Free another chance, lots of 'PUP's but no 'PUM's Got rid of MM and its' integrator extension, using FDM and its' FF integrator now. So far, so good.
  10. Well, yes, after each failure I un-installed with either AppRemover [targets stubborn A-V ware] or CCleaner's tool. Wallowing in Poverty, i used up all my drives in this workstation, have nothing to put anything on but my data drives are clean. The pest is contained in MM, no aberrant behaviour all afternoon. Get most of my stuff at MajorGeeks, going down the list.
  11. It is driving me up the wall. Affecting my favourite download manager {MegaManager} & before you say anything I know Megaupload is dead, saw it in the news, but if you skip the login page and go to the downloads tab, it works as usual. I liked the simple interface, the speed indicator etc. Wasted 30 hours on the **** thing, none of the half-dozen or so malware utilities are detecting it, waiting for friggin scans that go nowhere. Isn't there a tool that would let me plug the name, if i know what the pest is... [it left an URL in a Firefox tab, that is/was blank because of all the other measures I've taken] on MM startup though, it would open a FF window, no toolbar and a bunch of script dialogues [if FF portable wasn't already running, yes i prefer the portable versions] ....then hunt and kill the pest? Even the much vaunted Malwarebytes couldn't find it. Spyhunter 4, waited 100 minutes for a scan, didn't find the little bugger, but it found everything else, including my KMSservices (harmless, which i want to be left alone) but at least it lets you uncheck what you want to keep, however, after telling it to remove, it holds you hostage, wants 60 bucks CDN to clean your machine, why don't I just drop trow and bend over? It'd be a lot more honest. My nerves are shot, it usually takes me less than an hour to rid myself of code pests. My temporary solution was to disable the FF integrator [though a previous test showed it wasn't a problem] in add-ons and un-install MegaManager [but for now i retained the history, which i can dump later] and install Free Download Manager Portable (or just FDM, as referred to in lit) and it's FF integrator, then pray it doesn't fall to the same fate. Though 'zeroredirect1.com'is still there, embedded. A previous un-install and re-install of MM didn't work. Thought replacing with a virgin copy would work. What do you think?
  12. Interesting thread, I made the jump to W7Ux32 on my birthday(legacy h/w,no 64 bit drivers) and if Resource Monitor is to be believed, the upper gig of my new 4GiB build is being used by BIOS and hardware I'm happy with that and have enough faith in the construction of the ADATA 60GiB SSD not to worry about it. Am I living in a fools paradise?
  13. OK, latest post aside from mine was August 5. So have you guys seen this article or don't you care either way? http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-warns-windows-xp-users-risk-zero-day-forever-7000019503/ http://www.sevenforums.com/news/301421-microsoft-warns-windows-xp-users-risk-zero-day-forever.html Or so much fear fear mongering? I imagine XP users will do what 2000 & 9x users have been doing all along, we as the community, just have to point them in the right direction,eh?
  14. Well, I have redundant copies of my own font collection and as i don't use all of them, more aren't needed. ...searching within this topic before i make my main post...
  15. Meant to say that...been away for a long, long time. Though I've been happy with 6.5 as is.
